Introduction

First of all, congratulations with the purchase of the Neosynth! With this expansion board from WaveIdea

you will add great sonic possibilities to your CME VX or UF keyboard.

In short the expansion board gives you the possibility to play high quality sounds in various music styles

provided in sound banks that can be loaded from an optional SD card that fits into the expansion board.

You can also change settings for sounds, MIDI channels etc. with the provided software patch editor.

With an external MIDI sequencer you can use the NeoSynth in multitimbral mode up to 16 MIDI channels.

Wave Idea will develop new sound banks in the future to fulfill all your sonic needs!

Depending on the sound bank, variations may also exist, so more than 128 sounds can be available.

Terminology

As a reference here is a short list of specific NeoSynth terms used in this manual.

Soundbank. This is what you have loaded into the NeoSynth. It’s a set of (multi)samples, created by pro-

fessional sound designers and determines how each of the instruments will sound.

Instrument: one sound from a sound bank with specific (multi)samples creating the sound plus specific set-

tings for the instrument (for instance FX, filter, etc.).

Preset or patch: a set of parameters that describes all settings for a sound bank. It contains the 16 possi-

ble sounds for each MIDI channel, the effect settings, the audio routing settings etc.You create presets with

the additional patch editor software and can save them on your computer.

Synthesizer channel: A term used to describe one of the 16 possible instruments that can sound at the

same time in a so-called multitimbral setting. Because the NeoSynth listens to MIDI you can play 16 in-

struments at the same time over a maximum of 16 different MIDI channels.

One of those instruments with its specific settings and MIDI channel is called a synthesizer channel.
